RE: Hardfork 19 We Have A Problem!
Removing self upvoting is like asking newbies to leave steemit. Many of my posts have only 1 vote, and that's my own, I usually have to use minnow support to help myself out. Just because a few bad eggs might try to exploit the system, does not mean that self up voting should be removed completely. I for one have never upvoted my own comment.
I do hear that the system will stabilize after about a week, so hopefully this issue dies down as well. I'm more concerned that this new ,10 votes per day will lead to the creation of groups. People who only upvote each other, leaving newbies to the dust
But removing self upvoting would result in new users getting a bigger possibility of gaining upvote from other users instead of only getting one upvote from themselves worth probably a Cent or two.
Hmm, a cap could be introduced then, I do agree that self voting is essentially rewarding yourself for a job well(or not so well) done. I think a poll is in order. I'll put it up on twitter and steem here.
Good idea, a cap on upvoting yourself would be good so you can still reward yourself but you still have to upvote others to gain curation rewards
nice, looks like my VP is worth 0.08 sbd. . .. .
but that being implemented now is a pipe dream. . . . . except they do hardfork 19.1 or something
I get what you are saying with the creation of groups and it was something I was thinking about myself, but you could look at it another way if that type of behavior starts, and that would be to get your friends and family onto Steemit and all help each other out, that way you are guaranteed some upvotes.
It's not perfect by all means but just a thought.
o ya thats true, orrr. . . . . . . . . . alternate accounts start popping up like flies, and steemit turns into the world largest milking machine. . .
I have a hunch , that 1/8 of all steemit accounts are alts, i mean, most whales got em. . . . . .
crafty eh?
Interesting, if only we were here a lot earlier, we might be rich by now.
It's a tough one that's for sure but hopefully it gets sorted out, time will tell though.
indeed it will. If steemit survives 1 more year, guess who's going to be mini whales then :)
HInt: Its us, the second level early adopters.
of cause, the whales would be mega whales by then.
